I can't decide on a graphics card is better. I'd like a 7970 3gb, but I don't want to rule out NVidea so quick, and with payday around the corner, I'd like to at least buy the graphics card. I'm looking to play Soon to be Battlefield 4 and Crysis 3, and such games on the highest settings possible with 70-ish frames per second on average.

Another question, AMD or Intel for a good CPU? I've heard that Intel is better, but again, I don't want to rule out AMD. Does Ghz affect performance? I don't know a lot about computers. And, if I were to go with Intel, do they have a specific kind of motherboard, or do all motherboards work with all CPUs? Should I get more than 8gb of RAM? Thanks for the help! (-:
